About Merissa

Experience: 20 yrs

Nurturing children comes naturally to me, and I've spent the last 20 years dedicating myself to their care. My degree in music education, with a teaching credential, has given me a solid foundation, which I have built upon with practical experience caring for children aged 0-12+. I am comfortable caring for up to four children. I am patient, creative, and friendly. I love engaging children with outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational activities. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules, and I always prioritize open communication with parents. I provide regular updates via text or phone call, and I am happy to follow your preferred communication method. My goal is to support your family by providing a safe, fun, and enriching environment for your children. I hope to bring my passion for childcare to your family! I have a 3 and 6-year-old, and I currently teach middle school but have taught TK-12th grade.
